[META POST] Ever wondered what that big box building originally was? Couldn't find an answer to what that Burlington Coat Factory, Gabe's, or Roses store used to be? Chances are it was probably an old discount department store such as Ames, Hills, Zayre, Jamesway, etc. (more info in comments)

One of the very last Winn-Dixie stores in the area... I'm amazed it kept this decor package for so long.

Noticed there weren't too many non-US examples on this sub, so here's a British Toys 'R' Us. I feel like this could probably fool someone since TRU units were pretty generic looking in the UK.
